So no, we couldn't have used Hootie, as signing 4-5 safeties in the same class would be overkill.


Where did you get 4-5 from? You've listed two and I know you guys have Adams as well.. Y'all have no depth at safety.

There's a reason LSU didn't make a move on him after he decommitted from Bama.


Did he not have an offer?

1. Adams
2. Battle
3. Voorhies
4. Paris - S/CB

Hootie would be 5. So yes, signing Hootie would be akin to signing 4-5 safeties, depending on how you account for Paris, which is overkill.

Ofcourse Hootie had an offer, it's important to try to keep highly ranked kids at home. Also well documented that LSU never reached out to him after he decommitted from Bama. Compare to Cam Robinson, who LSU continued to recruit post-Bama commitment. There was no crying over spilt milk with Hootie.

ETA - gismap also mentioned Gage at Safety who is another DB. I tend to count Gage as a CB and Paris as a S. They could both be Safeties. They could both be CBs.
